REVERSIBLE BARROW-CULTIVATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,697, dated October31, 1882.

Application filed August 10, 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALLAoE O. KELLY, of Hastings, in the county ofBarry and State of Michigan, have invented new and useful Improvementsin Reversible Barrow-Cultivators; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of thisspecification.

The nature of this invention relates to certain new andusefulimprovements in the construction and operation ofbarrow-cultivators, which are particularly designed for garden use; andthe invention consists in the peculiar construction of parts, theircombinations, and operation, as more fully hereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification, Arepresents the barrow-wheel, suitably journaled between the ends of thehandles B or, preferably, such barrow-wheel runs upon an axle the endsof which are secured between the ends of the handles. Radial arms 0,sleeved upon said axle outside the ends of the hub of the wheel, carryat their extremity the frame D, the curvature of which describes asegment or portion of the radius from the axis, and to each of the freeends of this frame is secured the small plow or cultivator tooth,adapted to throw the earth to one side for billing purposes. This (Nomodel.)

standard is also secured at the end of another pair of radial arms, E.The sides of the frame G are within the handles B, and screw-clamps I),through each handle, embrace the side bars of the frame D.

It will be seen that by this construction I furnish a cultivator of twoteeth for cultivating between the rows, as shown in the drawing. When itis desired to hill up, the device is turned bottom side up and thehilling-culti vator tooth or plow employed for that purpose. This makesa very economical and effective implement, especially adapted for gardenwork.

What I claim as my invention is- The reversible hand-cultivator hereindescribed, consisting of the handle-frame B, in which is journaled theaxle of the wheel A, the curved frame D, carrying a single plow upon oneside, adapted to follow the track of the wheel, and cultivators upon theother side, one upon each side of said wheel, the saddlearms 0 E,sleeved upon the axle and connecting with the frame D, and means I) foradjusting the relative positions offrame and handles, all constructed,combined, and operating as set forth.
